Thumper ready to box your ears come October 13

A cross between rhythm-action and being punched in the face, Thumper has been at the top of my yes-please list since its Audiosurf-ish ways first graced me. With a bespoke soundtrack and frankly horrifying visuals, it's about traversing various psychedelic tracks attempting not to be pounded into dust by waves of sound. With the release date announcement comes mention of a collector's edition, which packages the full soundtrack in there too.

Both announcements were made via a post on the game's Steam page. Here's the promo image for the collector's ed:

Yes, the soundtrack is on vinyl, obviously. "Robert’s music and art were a key inspiration for Thumper and we can’t wait to hold this beautifully designed package in our hands!" says co-developer Marc Flury. It goes live for purchase over on Beatty's site at 9am PT / 5pm BST today.

Flury says the team will have more to reveal about the game before release on the 13th. For now, here's the latest trailer if you've never seen it:
